We have now enabled TLS on our web site and made sure to configure it properly. We can still fine tune a bit, but we’re happy that the Qualys SSL Labs test tool rated our server A in the tests. We have disabled all versions of SSL in our server, thus only supporting TLS. We also followed advice from Bettercrypto.org for our nginx web server to make sure we got the best rating.

The face that we launched on a web site without TLS was the top comment we got from users on Twitter and other social media platforms. We listened and fixed it.

All the tests, including keys and certificates, are available on Github.

That's also where you will find all the current tests while waiting for us to write documentation here.

What is TLS?

"The TLS protocol provides communications security
over the Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery."
From RFC 5446 that defines the current TLS - version 1.2. Wikipedia is also a good help in explaining TLS.
